Kate Jerry

 The heart of my practice is experimentation and process. The inspiration for my artwork comes from all areas of my life, emotion and philosophy. Simple print illustrations begin with a quote from literature (a book, play or poem), and other work evolves from a walk, a memory, an emotion, seasons, cycles and responding to these patterns, an appreciation of natural form and the environment. There is a recurrence of floral or botanical motifs, landscape & natural shape, I explore and experiment in a mixture of mediums and techniques, including, print, paint, collage, clay and encaustics. 

Kate currently co-runs 'Artreach Studios' which manages the art gallery, 'Isle Contemporary' - a venue for art workshops, exhibitions and visual art events, and in collaboration with artist, Colette Gambell on a new mixed media & ceramic base 'aos-si'
 
Kate motivates artists to become self empowered and encourages community to participate in visual art practice for enjoyment, positive mental health and well being. Her workshops have been published in ‘Spirit and Destiny’ and ‘Artists and Illustrators’ magazines.
